A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Not sure if joking, but I think a cat pic with nothing to really make it interesting other than its adorableness would make it fall under "etc" under the rules, especially since those kind of pics have their own place (/r/aww).

Pretty much every single piece of content could be placed into a few categories. But that doesn't happen so we don't have to go through hundred's of submissions that we don't care about in order to find stuff we do care about.

I live in Saint Paul, MN and last weekend we got the fallout from the snowstorm that hit the east coast.
Here it is right after I brought it inside. It immediately attacked my other cat's food and didn't stop until it was all gone.

OP's title is so over-the-top that it makes me want to punch him/her in the face (not really, but with my mind). People who lie for karma should have their accounts deleted. It's making this site garbage.

what kills me, is theres a kitty that lives next door, but they leave him outside in the freezing cold all the time. He always comes and hangs out with me and steals heat from my legs and loves to get petted.

They always leave him out in this, I could see taking him off their hands, keeping him warm and filling him with tuna...

Ugh... I wouldn't want to judge your neighbors... (Oh wth, who am I kidding, I AM judging!) but they don't seem to care so much about their kitty... And yes, it is morally wrong to take someone else's kitty...

However, does this cat has an ID collar? If not, well... Not only could he just look like a stray to anyone and even be picked up by animal control (check with your local humane society, it is a LAW in most towns that animals outside wear ID collar with their rabies tag)...

If he does have ID collar and/or Rabies tags, then I would get (or build yourself) a cat shelter to put around for him (however, any other neighborhood cats would also have access) or to "offer" to your neighbors (you could say something like "I noticed that you have an outdoor cat and it was so cold these last few days that I thought it would be nice for him/her to have a warm place to wait for you when you are not home to let him/her back inside").

A lot of people are sometimes just ignorant - they think that because cats are descendant from a wild animal, they can endure any kind of weather... I still don't think it's a valid excuse but... whatever...!

Also, since that kitty seems to more than often be outside, I hope it is spayed/neutered!!!

That's one thing, though - that isn't OP's story. For all he knows, a little kid could be crying because their kitten slipped out in a snowstorm and they miss him to bits. seeing the evidence of a cat being left out in the cold is different to finding a kitten and saying 'yep, this is mine now'.

That's stupid as hell. Cats are crafty little bastards and yes, funnily enough, they can slip out without people noticing! My cat is an outdoor/indoor cat (I live in the UK and if you want to steal him you try keep him indoors, he won't like you for it) and when I think he's in, he's somehow slipped out even when all the windows and doors are closed in winter, and vice versa. You shouldn't steal somebody's pet just because you assume they're a bad owner before even meeting them.

Reddit needs some kind of plugin like the one for facebook that turns all the pictures of babies into cats, except I need to to turn all the pictures of cats posted in /r/pics into something actually interesting.
